ITV has released a new preview of Kay Mellor’s new show Girlfriends, which will be premiering on January 3rd at 9pm! You can watch the trailer on ITV’s official Youtube if you’re in the UK or below for all other countries. According to Kay, the show is “a warm piece, about three women and their families and what they mean to each other. It’s about how they support one another at times in their lives when they need it most.”

As we have previously reported, Matt will be playing Tom, the son of Zoë Wanamaker’s character, Gail. Potter fans will recognize Wanamaker as Madame Hooch in the films. Miranda Richardson, who played Rita Skeeter, also stars in the show. A character description for Tom has also been released:

After Tom split from his drug addict girlfriend he moved back into his mum Gail’s (Zoë

Wanamaker) house with his young son Ben in tow. However, Tom’s frequent clashes with

stepfather Dave (Adrian Rawlins) was a contributing factor in Gail and Dave’s divorce, particularly when Tom’s wide boy ways, penchant for petty crime and subsequent imprisonment led him to leave mum Gail holding the baby.

The final night of Linda and Micky’s celebratory wedding anniversary cruise takes an unexpected turn, changing their lives and that of their children forever.

With her world turned upside down, back home Linda turns to life-long friends Sue and Gail for support as she struggles to cope.

When she discovers the depressing reality of the family’s badly managed finances, Linda fears for the future, but the girlfriends are horrified to learn there may be bigger problems in store for their friend.

Meanwhile overburdened Gail is juggling caring for her aging mother and looking after her demanding grandson as she anxiously prepares for her son Tom’s release from prison. With her divorce to her second husband Dave nearing completion; an unwanted letter causes Gail to face her true feelings. But is it too late for her to do anything about it?

When high-flying Sue gets a call from her PA she’s not prepared for the devastating news facing her at work. As the future of her career as the high-powered Feature’s Editor of the bridal magazine is thrown into question, Sue’s horrified by the realisation this may have more to do with her age than her performance at work. After committing her best years to her career and to her married lover and business partner John, Sue starts to question the choices she’s made.
